FPV interiors, gimbal walk‑throughs, and layered aerials make every angle feel intentional and on‑brand.

Delivery‑ready edits

MLS exports, vertical reels, and 4K masters arrive together—color‑graded, soundtracked, and ready to publish.

How the studio started

Off‑Duty Studio began where passion meets service. Between shifts at the firehouse, Josh honed his piloting skills on flight simulators—learning smooth control, spatial awareness, and the muscle memory that today makes FPV feel effortless. Friends in real estate asked for a few shots, then a few more, and soon a firefighter’s hobby became St. Louis’s go‑to partner for premium listing media.

• FAA Part 107 licensed and fully insured for every flight.
• Airspace and site planning with safety‑first checklists on every job.
